Gene expression pathways that significantly predicted antidepressant response to infliximab. Genes at baseline that were significantly predictive of infliximab treatment response (50% reduction in 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale at any point during the study; n=148, 1.2-fold change, P⩽0.01) were involved in pathways related to glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, cholesterol and sphingolipid transport, and apoptosis through tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related signaling pathway as assessed using Metacore and Wikipathways.
